A History of the Methodist Church in Great Britain, Volume Three
"This third volume of A History of the Methodist Church in Great Britain, which began to be published in 1965, and took another step forward in 1978, brings the story of British Methodism to the event which was intended to conclude the whole work, that is, to the consummations of Methodist Union in 1932. Some chapters, however, advance beyond that event, since the description of some of the processes then in train could not be abruptly curtailed without historical injustice." -- From the Preface
A History of the Methodist Church in Great Britain, Volume Four
"With this volume the publication of A History of the Methodist Church in Great Britain comes to its appointed end. The project of writing it was initiated by the Methodist Conference of 1953, and the lapse of time since then has made it possible to include at appropriate points the results of the continuing research into the origins and nature of Methodism; but 'the chance and changes of this mortal life', which are bound to impinge on the progress of so complex an enterprise, together with the heavy involvement of all the contributors in ecclesiastical, ecumenical and academic affairs, have made this period much longer than the General Editors would have wished." -- From the Preface
Methodists and their Missionary Societies 1900-1996
The twentieth century saw the spectacular growth of Christianity in much of the global south, the transformation of mission fields into self-governing Churches, schemes of church union (some successful, others abortive), evolving attitudes to other faiths and significant Christian engagement with issues of racial justice and world poverty. This book examines the contribution of the Methodist Missionary Society (and its predecessors before 1932) to these world-changing movements, from the remarkable mass conversions in south-west China and west Africa early in the century to the controversy over grants to liberation movements in the 1970s and 1980s.

Methodist Worship
The first part of this book presents a detailed survey of the worship of the Methodist Church. It examines the eighteenth-century sources, traces the historical development of distinctive Methodist services such as the Covenant, the Watchnight, and the Lovefeast, considers the Methodist doctrine of the Sacraments, and deals with the place of hymns in Methodist worship. The second part of the book deals with the place and function of form and order in a service of public worship as conducted in the Free Churches, and proceeds to consider the various elements that make up such a service—the hymns, prayers, lessons, sermon, and sacraments. A study of this book will serve as reminder of the two-fold tradition of the people called Methodists with regard to form of worship, which has been both liturgical and free, and it will help preachers and congregations to engage in public worship with a deeper understanding.
